My sisters seem to have gone off my trifle (which they used to adore) for some reason and we just had mixed berries and cream (very nice and all, but still), so I'm really glad <i>somebody</i> made it.Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-81866362836655904362010-01-03T19:52:05.548+10:302010-01-03T19:52:05.548+10:30I made your trifle again this year and it was FABU...I made your trifle again this year and it was FABULOUS.

"Saint Rose" is one of my favourites for when I get the urge to produce something to show off to family and friends. Because of the exactness of her measurements they all turn out well. I also have her Bread Book and one other which I can't remember or find, and met her in Adelaide some years ago when she attended a gastronomy symposium there. I enjoy your posts and had not caught up with them for a long time because I was spending too much time on the computer and neglecting my reading. This year (2010) I'm trying to balance both but don't know how I'll go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-6765738019796144462009-12-28T20:10:50.572+10:302009-12-28T20:10:50.572+10:30Happy New Year.

It's the Olympics of pastry making and sugar sculpture. When one guy's sugar sculpture shattered I cried.

My dad was super impressed with the look of it, and super impressed all over again when he had a piece.<br /><br />Many recipes are, of course, dogs, and one must have the skillz to recognise a good one when one sees, erm, one. I availed myself of Deborah Strange Land's because it's clear from her blog that she is an exceptional cook and would only have blogged this cake if she had total faith in it. A recipe that has been proved annually over three generations of New Zealand women is a recipe that will not fail one.<br /><br />Ms O'Dyne, that Cake Wrecks site is <i>hysterical</i>. I used to do an annual Yule Log for the Melb U Christmas Party and I'm glad to say mine looked like proper logs.Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-6806001851164903342009-12-26T11:13:38.490+10:302009-12-26T11:13:38.490+10:30Spectacular work!
